Seeking Dr in Colorado - new member...

Posted July 15, 2006 · July 15, 2006

I'm a new member and seeking a Dr near Denver. I do not know if there

is already a list but just wanted to see if anyone has input. My baby

is not due until November but from what I have discovered, the Dr's

training and experience are the key to successful correction and the

sooner the better. I've been to the Ponsetti web site but don't know

if it's updated or if anyone is near me and has a Dr. I know Iowa is

well renown and I am open to this, however, would have to take my 2

older girls with me (ages 4 and 2). Would love a local Dr if he/she

is good. Thanks for you help and support. I'm so happy to have found

this network.

You certainly will have your hands full come November. If you look at

the database file-you will see a physician listing. This is a listing

of doctors people on this website have currently used and would

reccommend. Also-I believe you may have already looked at this link

but here is the link to the official ponseti certified doctors:

My family is based in Indiana so unfortunately-can't offer you a

recommendation on a colorado doctor but I am sure more people will

pipe in today or tomorrow with their input!

good luck,

To my knowledge there isn't a doctor in Denver doing Ponseti. You were

sent the link to look at for certified doctors I believe. There is a

Dr. Hatch somewhere in CO. I don't know anything about him. As far as

other doctors in the western end of the U.S.. There is a good doctor in

Boise, Idaho. Dr. Buzz Showalter # . We see him and he

does a beautiful job with feet. Let me know if you would like more

information about Dr. Showalter and such. If you decide to go see Dr.

Hatch, maybe you can tell us what kind of a doctor he is. Good luck

with your new baby. Stick around and let us know all about this new

one.
